INFO:
A true one-club man, Tommy Wright enjoyed a magnificent Everton career. Born and raised in Merseyside, Wright joined the Blues as an apprentice and went on to play 373 times for the First Team between 1964 and 1974.
A tough, quick and reliable defender, Wright was ever-present in the 1969/70 Championship-winning campaign. Four years earlier, the England international had also helped Everton win the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley. Wright made 12 appearances for the Three Lions, playing in Euro 1968 and featuring in a classic match against Brazil in the 1970 World Cup.
Solid and hard tackling full back, steady and consistent, Wright is not only considered one of the best defenders in club history by Everton fans, but also once described as "the most difficult to play against" by George Best. Due to injuries, Wright eventually ended his career at the age of 30.
